A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome." Like the full-size organs in our bodies, the organelles within cells are specialized structures that carry ...

Stem cells age faster and become functionally exhausted in low Earth orbit, making crewed long-duration space travel even ...

What at first seemed like an artifact in the images turned out to be a new organelle that may be involved in sorting, recycling and discarding proteins within human cells. Ebrahim likened the ...

Spending time aboard the International Space Station (ISS) induced aging-like changes in a group of cells key for the health ...

A TED Talk-style presentation on the effects of tangled DNA strands took first place at this year's Postdoc Slam competition, which is held in celebration of National Postdoc Appreciation Week.

The reference-quality genome assembly of an experimentally relevant human cell line, retinal pigment epithelial line RPE-1, is completed.

A research team led by Professor Simona Giunta at the University of Rome La Sapienza has produced the first reference-quality ...

The studied cells, called human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, make all of the blood cells in the bone marrow - the ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

A comprehensive atlas of the human hypothalamus, a brain region that regulates many bodily functions, including temperature, sleep and appetite, has been built using single-cell RNA sequencing and ...
